A member asked:
I'm 16 yrs old, i've been clicking my fingers for a while now it's a habit, today i did it and my hand went all stiff, what could this be..?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle spasm: Too much clicking your fingers! It sounds like you caused your hand muscles to spasm from overuse. All you have to do is lay off the finger clicking for a while (3-7 days) and things should start to feel better. You might want to find a better nervous habit before you damage your fingers and hand permanently
